A Premier lion shifter, Hugh Landry dedicates his life to leading the Berk pride with strength and confidence. Hundreds of people depend on Hugh for safety, success, and happiness. And at over a century old, with more power than can be contained in one body, Hugh relies on a Siphon lion shifter to carry his excess force.

When the Siphon endangers himself and therefore the pride, Hugh must pay attention to the man who has been his silent shadow for a decade. What he learns surprises him, but what he feels astounds him even more.

Two lions, each born to serve, rely on one another to survive. After years by each other’s side, they’ll finally realize the depth of their potential, the joy in their passion, and a connection their kind has never known.

Cardeno C. - CC to friends - is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few "awwws" into a reader's day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno's stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset.

Cardeno's Home, Family, and Mates series have received awards from Love Romances and More Golden Roses, Rainbow Awards, the Goodreads M/M Romance Group, and various reviewers. But even more special to CC are heartfelt reactions from readers, like, "You bring joy and love and make it part of the every day."

My Johnny Review ...

When Cardeno C. contacted me with the opportunity to review this book, CC had me at MM lion shifters.

What could be more hot than two lion shifters going at it? Not alot. :)

Hugh's the Premier of the pack. His power is so powerful that he needs a Siphon to help carry his reserve so he doesn't overload and die. Unfortunately he has taken his Siphon for granted.

The Siphon is tired of being invisible so tries to take care of his own choices for once with near devastating results. When Hugh realizes that he has neglected his Siphon he vows to make a change. First the Siphon gets a name ... Johnnie. Then second he gets to know Johnnie. And the more he gets to know him the more he likes what he sees.

For Hugh sex is just about the release of hormones and semen. For the first time in a decade he experiences something so much more with Johnnie. For Hugh and his pack they are animals first humans second, but they have a thing or two to learn from the humans. Like the notion of the emotion love. Hugh's first priority has always been his pack but once he falls for Johnnie he starts to realize that with this connection he gets so much more.

"They need their Premier. I need my Siphon."

I loved Hugh and Johnnie together. They were made for each other and were each others ying to their yang. I loved how Cardeno C's mind works and we get introduced to another world where love is love no matter what.

Adored it! Adored Hugh and Siphon. I can't wait to read or hear more from this Siphon Collection. Yeah!!!!

With Audio it's such a different experience than reading the book. Sometimes it makes it better and sometimes it makes it worse. With Johnnie I thought I was good experience. The only beef for me was with the narration of Hugh in regards to Johnnie he sound more exasperated at times then thoughtful or loving, but the more the story goes the less exasperation happens, and the more I get into the voices of Hugh and Johnnie. When reading naughtier books in public on my kindle I don't tend to feel guilty about it. When I was listening to the Audio in public and I would get to a naughtier part and I would blush furiously thinking that everyone has to know what I'm listening to. I've only listened to a few Audio books, but for some reason after this one I'm officially hooked. Can't wait for more.
